So, yesterday was kinda a coincidinky sort of day
I've been frustrated trying to find something (anything!) to do this summer, and I got several e-mails saying internships I've applied for have been filled, thanks but no thanks. We'll keep your resume on hand because we have lots of diskspace.
Anyway, I asked one of my professors after class how I could keep companies from assuming that I am this academically oriented researching grad-student potentate.
Look, the only way I'm going to grad school is under two conditions.
I absolutely can't get a job after I graduate
I get a job that will pay for me to go.
I've been in school for sixteen years. I want to give something else a try.
Anyway, the irony was that while I was bitching to my professor, I had gotten an e-mail from a company asking if I could schedule a phone interview. SOOOOOOOOOO~
I did that today. Fingers crossed! It sounds absolutely incredible. It would be doing thermal analysis/chassis design for HP workstations. What a beautiful intersection between two of my interests! I didn't even have to fake enthusiasm.
